    • Three Dreams, Three Legends : The Pedlar, The Kist, and Donald Din

      Three Dreams, Three Legends : The Pedlar, The Kist, and Donald Din
      Sep 21 2025

      Welcome to Myth, Mystery, Lore and History – the podcast where ancient legends and timeless tales come to life. New episodes will be out every week, so be sure to subscribe now and uncover the legends behind the lore.

      In this episode, I’m searching out one of the most enduring folk tales in British storytelling: The Pedlar of Swaffham — a story with roots reaching all the way back to 9th-century Mesopotamia. This is a tale that’s crossed continents, evolved through centuries, and continues to spark the imagination.

      I’ll be exploring three powerful versions of this ancient narrative, each with its own local flavour and cultural twist:

      • The Pedlar of Swaffham from Norfolk
      • The Kist of Upsall Castle from Yorkshire
      • And Donald Din and the Castle in the Kail Yard from Scotland

      Each story begins the same way — with three dreamers, each dreaming three times of hidden treasure… and setting out on a journey to discover the truth behind their visions.

      After examining their similarities and differences, I’ll also share some Scottish folklore around rhyming riddles and buried treasure — part of the oral tradition that keeps these stories alive.

      Thomas the Rhymer: Scotland’s Prophet, Poet and Legend
      Sep 21 2025

      Who was Thomas the Rhymer — 13th-century Scottish poet, seer, and prophet? In this episode of Myth, Mystery, Lore and History, we delve into the life and legend of True Thomas of Ercildoune, a mysterious figure whose story blends history, myth, and medieval prophecy. Was he a real historical figure, or simply the Scottish answer to Merlin?

      Join me as I uncover the origins of the Thomas the Rhymer legend, explore his eerie prophecies, and discuss his ties to folklore, poetry, and the supernatural Queen of Elfinland.

      Tracing his influence in medieval Scotland, Westmorland and Berwickshire, and a look at how his story inspired artists like Steeleye Span, Ewan MacColl, and Archie Fisher.

      Whether you’re a folklore fan, history lover, or just here for a local legend—this is an episode is full of twists and turns.
